25k made me laugh and when it came to 77k made me laugh even more.When will these people buy a tv and actually watch these type of shows and learn from other peoples mistakes first.

I haven't watched Property Ladder in ages but having seen today's it's the same old story. Beeny does do her best to help them fall on their faces. How the hell could the electrics and plumbing come to over £10k? If the house is gutted then it's a doddle to rewire and plumb. Also, why did he have to use a lathe and plaster finish - if it's okay to stick an ultra modern loft window in a listed building who gives a crap about a traditional plaster finish.

MattN

because the 10k included the building materials, not just the electrics and plumbing.

dba

it came to over 10k because he had it surface mounted until the coucil officer fliiped her lid (grade 2 listed) so he paid twice

If you're gutting the place and replastering only a fool would surface mount. What an ****.

When talking about his decision not to put in central heating he said "electric panel heater in each bedroom" (nowt in the rest of the house BTW) WTF

DJ73

couldn't understand this guy's logic , once the building work's done do all the electric and central heating ?

deano

That's where the old boy went wrong, he should have targeted it one armed rapists from Leeds.

Nice cravats though

My mum works for the local council planning section, and they were of the opinion that the guy was an utter numpty.
They didn't mention that the build was held up for sometime because the blokes son died just before christmas in a car crash (I think that the end dedicated the program to his memory) - so wasn't just held up through dire decisions!

richardg

it was a "conservation light" rather than your average velux type window. subtle differences in style but at the end of the day not really that different. anyone know what happened to the first builder? did he just get bored or see the costs and complications escalating?

Nimbus

And of course, at the end the average valuations come in at 194k (i think), so they put it on at 219K!! Guess what.. it didn't sell....


I am the only one waiting for the to show an episode where the project falls down completly due to stupid planning/ideas and the end up with a wreck they can't finish..?

gsm1

Given that, I'll take back what I said. He did well to finish at all.

And probably doesn't give a toss either, given that she and her brother are millionaire property developers.
